Online game digital hanbok has an aesthetic value in a digital culture and is useful for developing a digital hanbok design for online games as well as other industries. This thesis analyzes its attire and design composition elements to design a 3D digital hanbok by utilizing its formative characteristics. The literature review defines them as transmutability, virtuality, fictionality, reality and playfulness based on the characteristics of digital media, late digital generation and online games. We analyzed 471 images from 50 online games. Sonmaep was used for making 3D digital hanboks. Its attire was grouped into jogori pants, jogori chima, po and armor. Its design composition elements were classified as pleat, layering mu or hemline, mu sub gyeopmagi mitbadae, vent, git dongjung and decoration elements. The results feature 8 digital hanbok designs. Reality designs are replicas of jogori daegugo for men and po for women in the period of the Three States. Virtuality designs are slightly changed shapes of yoseoncheolrik for men and white jogori yellow chima for women in the Koryo Dynasty. Fictionality designs are casual fusion armors for men and women as a hyperbolic form. Playfulness designs are doll costumes for men and jogori chima for women as a kitsch and childish style. The concept of online game digital hanbok escapes from conceptual limitations of traditional hanboks. This result can be used for designing digital hanbok contents in various industrial parts.

In this paper we proposed a gamification methodology for Korean language education. We suggested gamification elements that increased the fun factor and induced immersion by analyzing the successful gamification cases which can be classified into three types; management, Implementation, and self-expression. Then, we analyzed Korean learning theory and methods to extract four key aspects, listening, speaking, vocabulary and culture from eight Korean learning function. Finally, by using Korean Wave contents, we proposed a Korean learning gamification methodology based on the gamification elements and the extracted four key aspects.

This study analyzed factors affecting the perceived fun of VR contents' reuse intention through use of the technology acceptance mode. The factors associated with perceived fun were identified by setting the content quality, VR characteristics, emotional character and flow. The results demonstrate that perceived fun exercises a positive effect on VR characteristics, emotional character and flow, but that high content quality does not have an affect on perceived fun. Also perceived fun, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use are all influenced by the intention to reintegrate.

Due to Covid-19, the un-contact culture has affected society as a whole, and the methods of education conducted offline has been greatly affected. In the private education of preparing for university entrance, the public official examinations and certification acquisition, the method of online education has been shown to have positive effects. While private class and school class which have offered in off-line to cope with rapid changes caused various problems such as decline in quality for education. Due to the characteristic of design class, practical training is important. As interactive feedback between students and educators is more important than one-way of delivering knowledge while class is conducted in online, educators have a challenge when they prepare for class. This study handles the methods of online education for the purpose of practical education methods in university nowadays, Especially, the non-face-to-face education methods for game animation production. Based on this study, I propose an effective educational method with non-face-to-face class that allows students to be satisfied and increases their knowledge, beyond face-to-face class.

현재 게임들에서 Retro 풍이 일면서 다시 2D그래픽이 주목을 받고 있는 현상이 발생하고 있다. 물론 과거에도 2D 그래픽풍의 게임이 없었던 것은 아니나 근래에 들어서는 그 양상이 좀 더 진화되어 유저들에게 어필을 하고 있어 주목이 되고 있다. 현재 출시된 멀티 플랫폼 게임 엔진 중 게임 개발사에서 많이 사용 중인 엔진은 Unity3D 엔진이다. 본 논문에서는 Unity3D 엔진을 이용한 2D게임 그래픽 제작에 대해 논하고자 한다. 유니티 엔진은 C#, 자바스크립트로 코드를 작성할 수 있다는 이유로 C#과 모노 기반 코드로 개발되었다고 알려져 있었다. 실제로 엔진의 런 타임 부분은 C++과 마이크로소프트 닷넷 API, 에디터 프로그램은 C#으로 개발되었다. 스크립트는 유니티 내에서 바로 수정은 하지 못하고 Mono Develop등 유니티를 지원하는 스크립트 에디터에서 수정할 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 멀티 플랫폼 게임 엔진을 이용한 2D 게임 그래픽인 Pixel Art 구현을 제안 하고자한다. 이를 통해서 다양한 멀티 플랫폼 기반의 게임 설계 및 개발에 도움이 되었으면 한다. 어떤 요소들이 2D게임을 선택하는 데에 있어 영향을 끼치는가에 대해서 알아보고, 세부항목에 따른 기본 도형을 이용한 게임 오브젝트 제작의 특징과 그 이유가 사용자에게는 어떤 의미를 가지는가에 대한 것을 알 수 있다.

The objective of this study is to uncover the standard and procedure of the review for the online game to export to China and try to find a plan how to solve a problem such as regulation for the online game imported into China depending on a protective policy for homemade game. The literatures related to the policy of China online game industry and the present condition of the wholistic restriction are reviewed and the standard and procedure of the review of China online game which is veiled was able to find definitely by using the case study on Korean company which was a great success as localization in China. As a result of this study, we found that the key factor on the review standard of China online game is the anti-social personality, such as 'the overthrow of Chinese socialist system', 'the territorial issue as the eviction of Hong Kong or the acknowledgment of Taiwan government', 'independence problem of the minorities', and 'damage to property as national treasure', et cetera. While the review of the homemade game in China takes about a month through just two steps in review process on online game, that of foreign game is required over at least three months through four steps in it. Moreover, it is difficult for foreign games to obtain the license due to total amount regulation for online game by 'General Administration of Press and Publication of the People's the Republic of China'. In the case of the joint-venture company, it is most important to the smooth communication between Korean company and Chinese company in order to overcome these strong regulation for online game review in China. Furthermore, as Chinese company in outward appearance it is need to be positioned absolutely in Chinese marketplace. The definite positioning strategy enables foreign companies to avoid the strong regulation about the foreign game in China. To understand, finally, deeply politics, society, and culture presented in Chinese ethics textbook permits the foreign companies to predict the exact standard of the review for online game. Therefore, this study is concluded with key implications to sustain guidelines on the deliberation for foreign companies which want to export online game to China to improve the predictability and accountableness about the review of the online game in China.

Embedded System includes touch, GPS, motion, and acceleration sensor, and can communicate with neighbor devices using wireless communication. Because Arduino with embedded system provides good environment for development and application, developers, engineers, designers, as well as artists, students have a great interest. They utilize Arduino in the robot, home appliances, fashion, culture and so on. In this paper, we design and implement a game using Arduino with embedded system which recognizes the human movement by moving away from one-dimensional game of the existing touch method. Implemented embedded system game measures gyro-sensor to recognize human movement and detects the attack success of the opponent by using touch sensor. Moreover, health of the game player is updated in the real time through the android phone-based database. In this paper, implemented embedded system-based game provides GUI screen of android phone. It is possible to select watching mode and competition mode. Also, it has low energy consumption and easy to expand because it send and receive data packet through recent Bluetooth communication.
